（兜木香）烧去其异味，可消除疫病。据《汉武帝故事》记载，西王母降临人间时，汉武帝焚烧了兜木香的粉末。兜木香是兜渠国进献的贡品，形状像大豆，涂抹在宫门上，香气能传播到百里之外。关中地区发生严重的大瘟疫，死者尸体相互枕藉，焚烧这种香，瘟疫便停止了，《内传》中说：死者都复活了起来。这是灵验的香料，并非中国本土所产，标注其功效，使其成为众草之首。
味辛，性平，无毒。主治解除各种药物中毒。岭南及睦州、婺州一带，如果误食毒草中毒，此药与千金藤都能解其毒。也主治蛊毒、溪毒、恶刺、虎野狼及毒蛇虫虺等咬伤之毒，以及流行性疟疾、瘴气引起的寒热往来、咳嗽痰多壅盛、飞尸鬼疰、喉闭、疮肿、小儿寒热病、丹毒、中恶邪、注忤、痢血等症状。均煮汁服用，其解毒功效如同犀角，因此名叫“草犀”，以解毒为最擅长。产于衢州、婺州、洪州、饶州等地。植株高两三尺，独茎，根部像细辛，研末服用效果更好。生长在水中的，名叫“木犀”。海药记载说：谨按《广州记》记载：产于岭南及海中。独茎，对叶生长，状如灯台草，又像细辛。性平，无毒。主治解除一切毒瓦斯，以及虎野狼咬伤、溪毒野蛊等毒。均宜烧成灰研末服用，濒临死亡者服用可得救活。
（无风独摇草）味甘，性寒，无毒。长期食用不感到饥饿，能调和脾胃，通利大小肠。生长在水边，叶子像浮萍。《尔雅》说：薇，是指下垂的样子。《三秦记》说：伯夷、叔齐吃它三年，面色没有改变。周武王告诫他们，他们因不食周粟而死。《广志》说：薇叶像浮萍，可以食用，对人有益。海药记载说：谨按《广州记》记载：生长在海、池、泽中，《尔雅》注释说：薇，是水菜。主治通利水道，消除下肢浮肿，润燥大肠。
佩戴它能令夫妇相爱。产于岭南。头部像弹子，尾部像鸟尾，两片叶片开合，见到人会自动摇动，所以叫“独摇草”。海药记载说：谨按《广志》记载：产于岭南。又说：产于大秦国。性温、平，无毒。主治头面部游风，全身瘙痒。用煮汁淋洗蘸擦的方法治疗。陶朱术记载说：五月五日采集，山野间往往也有。
(Burn to remove the bad odor, eliminate epidemic diseases. According to the "Story of Emperor Wu of Han," when the Queen Mother of the West descended, Emperor Wu burned the powder of *Douxuxiang* (兜木香). *Douxuxiang* was a tribute presented by the Douqu Kingdom; it is as large as a soybean. When applied to palace gates, its fragrance could be smelled for a hundred *li*. During a severe epidemic in the Guanzhong region, where corpses were piled upon one another, burning this incense stopped the plague. The "Inner Biography" states that the dead revived. This is a spiritual incense, not produced in China; marking its efficacy, it is regarded as the chief among herbs.)
Pungent in flavor, neutral in nature, non-toxic. It primarily resolves various drug poisonings. In Lingnan and between Mozhou and Wuzhou, if poisoned by toxic plants, both this herb and *Qianjinteng* (千金藤) can detoxify it. It also treats gu poison, stream poison, malignant thorns, injuries from tigers, wild wolves, and venomous snakes or insects, as well as epidemic malaria, miasma-induced alternating chills and fever, cough with profuse phlegm, feishi (flying corpse disease), throat obstruction, abscesses and swelling, pediatric chills and fever, erysipelas, sudden evil qi invasion, zhuwu (possession-like ailments), and bloody dysentery. All should be taken as a decoction. Its efficacy is comparable to rhinoceros horn, hence the name "Caoxi" (Grass Rhinoceros), being most proficient in detoxification. It grows in Quzhou, Wuzhou, Hongzhou, and Raozhou. The plant is two to three chi tall, with a single stem; the root resembles *Xixin* (Asarum), and powdered administration is more effective. Those growing in water are named "Muxi" (Wood Rhinoceros). Sea Medicine records state: According to the "Guangzhou Records," it grows in Lingnan and the sea. It has a single stem and opposite leaves, resembling *Dengtaicao* (Lampstand Grass) or *Xixin*. Neutral in nature, non-toxic. It resolves all types of toxic vapors, injuries from tigers and wild wolves, and stream poisons or wild gu. It is best burned, powdered, and ingested; those near death who take it may survive.
(Sweet in flavor, cold in nature, non-toxic. Long-term consumption prevents hunger, harmonizes the middle jiao, and promotes urination and bowel movements. It grows by the water, with leaves resembling duckweed. The "Erya" states: "Wei" refers to drooping. The "Sanqin Ji" states: Boyi and Shuqi ate it for three years without changing their complexion. King Wu admonished them, and they died refusing to eat it. The "Guangzhi" states: Wei leaves resemble duckweed, are edible, and benefit people. Sea Medicine records state: According to the "Guangzhou Records," it grows in seas, ponds, and marshes. The commentary on the "Erya" notes: "Wei" is an aquatic vegetable. It promotes water passage, reduces edema, and moistens the large intestine.)
(Wearing it fosters love between husband and wife. It grows in Lingnan. The head resembles a marble, the tail like a bird's tail; the two halves open and close and shake automatically upon seeing people, hence the name "Wufeng Duyao Cao" (Windless Swaying Grass). Sea Medicine records state: According to the "Guangzhi," it grows in Lingnan. It is also said to grow in Daqin (Rome). Warm and neutral in nature, non-toxic. It treats wandering wind on the head and face, and generalized pruritus. It is treated by boiling and washing/applying the liquid. Tao Zhu Shu states: Collect on the fifth day of the fifth month; it is often found in mountains and fields.)
